Review by Greg Neyman

Published May 2006

 

 

     In this introductory chapter, DeYoung gives a brief history of the discovery of radiation, some background information on atoms and what causes radiation, and the varieties of radiation (alpha, beta, and gamma radiation).  After explaining this, DeYoung explains the concept of half-life and gives some analogies for nuclear decay. 

     Overall, DeYoung presents a good summary which needs few comments.  If you wish, you may read about these processes he explains in the links below.

     If you are not a Christian, and you have been holding out on making a decision for Christ because the Church always preached a message that was contrary to what you saw in the scientific world, then rest assured that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, and you can believe in Christ and receive salvation, while still believing in an old earth.  Click here for more.
